Abstract

Programmers who use the test-driven development practice of the Extreme Programming methodology write extensive automated unit and acceptance tests. This paper describes an Eclipse plug-in that utilizes the results of this automated testing, and in combination with a suite of internal product metrics, provides an early assessment of product reliability. We discuss the correlation between the metrics we use and the reliability of the developed software, as well as the general functional characteristics of the alpha version of our Eclipse plug-in.
